About this application
Icon Explorer is a utility published by KDE for previewing the icons present on a Linux desktop. Rather than opening image files one at a time in a file manager or an editor, it gathers installed icon material into a single browsable view, so that a name can be located and the graphic it refers to examined on the spot.
The stated audience is twofold. An artist can look over a set as a whole to judge how its members sit together; a developer can find the identifier needed to reference an icon from interface code. What appears in the listing depends on the icon themes installed on the machine, so the contents differ from one system to another rather than being fixed by the program itself.
Distribution is limited to Linux, and the source is released under GPL-2.0-or-later. Users on other operating systems will need a different tool.
